It is currently under construction, now that approval of the whole concept by the local Council last year.

Unfortunately, owing to the specific requirements of the Rail Safety National Law 2012 (NSW), I am NOT permitted to open Pete’s Hobby Railway for public inspection and/or rides. However, visitors will be welcome to view, and photograph, Pete’s Hobby Railway from the street only at times that may be advertised (such as during Junee’s Rhythm n Rail Festival , which is usually held in March each year). At other times, it is more than likely that the locomotives and rolling stock will not be easily visible, although the rail track and Loftus station can be clearly seen and photographed.

Updates on the progress with the construction of Pete’s Hobby Railway appear in Progress Reports. These are prepared on an irregular basis and are posted to this web-page after they have been first distributed to those direct volunteers and supporters of the project.

Separate headings will lead you into details about my locomotives, rolling stock and track including a plan of the proposed layout, as well as a brief history of my former “Weavering Light Railway” which operated at Loftus, in the Sutherland Shire (south of Sydney, NSW) from 1975 until 2015 when the property was sold.

Peter has always been an inspiration to me and rail enthusiasts in NSW, ever since I was a teenager way back in the early 70’s. I recall eagerly waiting for the “Railway news” (was that the name?) magazine each month!

Well done on getting approval for the building of the railway. Junee has always been a favourite overnight stop when passing by so I look forward to an opportunity one day of “viewing” the railway
